from over there.” He pointed to an old apartment building that was to their right.


Azrael replied with a little sadness in her voice: "You should kill them, we cannot cure them, nobody, they are all addicted to evils."


Son Goten asked quietly: "Can't we do anything? They don't deserve to die like this, and they are, at least from my point of view, defenseless."


If I just kill them like that, I'm no better than the devils. "


Azrael smiled again and said, "I don't think there is a way, and apart from Cain, I know more about evil than any other living person.

But your will to help honors you, you feel for these beings, and even if they would like to kill you, you would still like to help them.


I just wonder why, seldom does such a young man show so much humanity. "


At the last words he had turned away and was looking into the distance again.


When the arrows came flying, a soft, white, glow played around Goten, everyone seemed to bounce off the air, two meters in front of Goten and Azrael, and fell to the ground.


Son Goten ignored the attack, he had to think about it first, respond to it.


Finally he replied, quietly, thoughtfully, but with a sure voice: "I think I have a lot from my father and my brother.


If anyone needed help, they came because they can help.


Of course they don't try to hunt down everything badly, only that which others absolutely cannot defend themselves against.


They don't do this for the sake of thanks or because they would otherwise benefit from it, but because they can do it.Because they defend those they love. And because they love to fight, not to kill or to win, but to fight. "


After that there was silence, everyone was lost in thought, the light shield that Goten had created was hit more and more by arrows and magical discharges without weakening him.


Finally Azrael said, suddenly changing the subject: "What are you going to do with these beings that are attacking us?"


Son Goten looked up as if he was seeing you for the first time and said: "I am sure that you will not just stop, so there is no danger, I can hold out for almost forever.


But not all of you can, so I'll have to kill her. "


Even if you heard no regret, but only a thought, a logical one at that, Azrael knew that Goten regretted this fact.


He nodded.


Goten flickered and almost seemed to lose its firmness, but when the flickering image had dissolved, nothing more shot, nothing moved.

It flickered again, where there was nothing before, Goten appeared right in front of Azrael.


“Let's go.” The only thing Goten said was completely neutral, only his facial features were strangely tense.


Azrael followed him back to the others.




Wiglaf hardly seemed to pay any attention to either of them when they went back to their makeshift hiding place.


In fact, he made sure that her back was covered, he hardly thought about Goten.


He knew that Goten was not their enemy and that he would probably help them, he would like to know more, but the questioning would be useless, Goten had said everything he wanted to say and brooding over it didn't help either.


Goten immediately went to Karina, he sat cross-legged next to her, closed his eyes, and began to meditate in the way he had learned from Picollo.




Nathalia was awakening very slowly, at least for her own purposes.


Usually she was mentally upright in a few seconds, and even if her body was sluggish for the first few minutes, she could mostly ignore it.

But now she literally tortured herself into consciousness, she would have liked to have slept some more, her body saw it too.


Still, she opened her eyes and sat up.


As she looked around, she spotted Azrael at one of the two exits, he was staring outside, keeping watch, like Wiglaf, at the other door.


As she noticed when she turned her head.


In the shade, next to Karina, sat Goten, he seemed to be meditating, she couldn't say for sure.


She thought about it.


About the power he had shown.


The options he had.


Could she do that too?


No, that wasn't the question, the real question was, would he teach her?


He couldn't do more than refuse when she asked.


Nathalia struggled up, luckily it was at least warm so that she didn't freeze, but you could overdo it, she didn't want to freeze to death or be baked.

Since it couldn't be changed, however, she ignored it.


She walked slowly towards the place where Karina slept and Goten seemed to be meditating.


A light, bluish white fire began to play around him gently.


Nathalia reached him, but he ignored her even though she was standing in front of him, or did he not see her?


Almost hesitantly, she tapped him on the shoulder.


The glow around him, which had finally started to light up the room, died out.


He opened his eyes, strange eyes, as Nathalia thought.


They were black and seemed to consist only of pupils, yet it was not an unfriendly black.


Surprisingly rough, almost hoarse, he asked: "What is it, I was just about to meditate."


It even sounded annoyed.


Any normal person would have been angry now, or snotty, anything, but Nathalia was not a normal person, in this world Goten had never met a normal person.


Nathalia replied coolly: "I would like to learn how you control this power, how to awaken this incredible power."

In the end, her voice had sounded slightly admiring.




Son Goten looked at the killer who had just asked him to train her, he felt shortly after her ki that it was not unused or weak, but in terms of energy or strength one could only speak of a moderate normal fighter. (Videl's strength, roughly, at the time of Buu)


Son Goten began to laugh softly and grew louder.


Until he saw her eyes, she was serious, completely, and yet he knew that if he kept laughing now, she would leave.


He stopped abruptly, and then said, without hearing a grin or anything: "You want to learn to fight, not as you know it before, but like a Z-Fighter.


It's admirable, but it doesn't work. "


At these words she seemed to sink in, and the harshness faded a little from her.


"However ..." he continued, "... I can teach you control of your ki, and some light ki attacks."

He was about to stop here, but when her face brightened up again, literally shining, (by her standards she was smiling, although her face hardly changed, Goten saw it anyway) but then began with the third section: "It I'm sorry to have to tell you, however, that even with the hardest training you won't even come close to the level of one of us, what you saw of me during the first encounter should be the absolute limit of what you can achieve . "


Nathalia seemed almost offended, although her face remained motionless and her gaze cool, then she replied, coldly: "How do you get that? I am one of the best, and I can achieve anything if it is humanly possible."


Son Goten shook his head and replied, taking care not to irritate her: "It doesn't matter what talent you have, it depends on the training possibilities.


Yours are limited, very limited.

We trained under increased gravity, a diluted atmosphere and other very extreme circumstances that you can only survive if you have trained for a very long time and continuously improve.


Here you will never have the conditions that you need to become nearly as strong as z. B. i.


Besides, you'd have to train for decades. "


Nathalia nodded, she wasn't really convinced of his words, but he would train her, that was the most important thing first.


Finally she asked, "When can we start?"


With a look at Karina, who was still sleeping, he replied thoughtfully: "Immediately, if we have to, we shouldn't stay here, we should move into a corner."


He got up and went to Wiglaf, near the door he sat cross-legged.


Nathalia had followed him and sat down across from him, she felt a tremendous tingling sensation in her stomach.

Soon she would have an even greater power than anyone else before her.


Suddenly she remembered what kind of destruction Goten had caused, so she asked quietly and carefully: "Shouldn't we go out, a lot can break in here, I don't want me to destroy something with uncontrolled force."


Goten looked her in the eye and decided on a calm answer, even though he wanted to laugh again: "Don't worry about that.


First of all, you are not strong enough to cause damage that I could not prevent, and besides, you won't be able to manage strong attacks in the first few weeks anyway, you don't even have your ki.


That's what we're going to start with, and you can't really destroy anything at these beginnings. "


Nathalia nodded, but then asked again, almost uncertainly: "But if I discover this inner strength, wouldn't it be able to discharge itself uncontrollably?"

Son Goten replied calmly, while he was going through the training in his mind: "It can discharge uncontrollably, but you have far too little for anything to be dangerous.


So, now concentrate on ... "(Please insert fluidic lessons here)




The rest of the day is quickly told, after Goten had explained the basics of Fluidum, or Ki, to Nathalia, and she tried to use it, he noticed how exhausted she was still, and sent her back to sleep without arguing.


He talked briefly with Azrael and Wiglaf, the main point being where they should go now, and Son Goten now learned of Kahlim's will, and the two of Goten's "student".


Then he lay down
